The Second World War broke out and it became increasingly difficult for farmersd to have their tractor repaired. As a result in addition to the bicycles and mopeds, the tractors also came to De Korver for maintenance. Because the story went around that tractors could also be repaired, people also asked whether the cars could be serviced there. In this way the company grewed into a car garage.
In the years following 1946 a gas pump was added. The company soon also expanded with a taxi service. After the war, more focus was placed on maintaining, repairing and selling cars.
